Testimonials
A huge thank you to Matt and his team for creating the most beautiful garden. The workmanship and professionalism of the Lifestyle Lawns team was like a breath of fresh air. And the dogs just love it.
Aaron & Victoria
We love our synthetic / artificial lawn and can highly recommend the Lifestyle Lawns products. We have two dogs and two young children and have found the grass to be hard wearing whilst always looking it’s best. Matt is reliable, easy to deal with and worked really hard to get us a great finished result.
We love showing our lawn off to everyone who comes to visit!
Mark & Lonnae
Lifestyle Lawns were easy to deal with through the whole process from providing the original quote, arranging a suitable date to finishing the works and leaving the place in a tidy state. Well done to Matt and the Lifestyle Lawns crew.

Matt was fantastic to deal with. He was very knowledgeable and has a real passion for his products. He was very clear at explaining the features and took the time to break down the process of the installation, as we NEVER thought we would have artificial grass and were a little bit nervous. We are so happy with our lawn!! We would highly recommend Matt and Lifestyle Lawns for any sized job.

We chose to use Lifestyle Lawns as they are a local family operated business and it was a great choice! From start to finish they were super helpful, friendly and punctual. The grass itself looks realistic, vibrant and so soft to touch. It was awesome to work with Matt who was extremely enthusiastic and excited in what he does and certainly had the knowledge to back it up! We are absolutely stoked with the end result. 10/10 😃

Linda & Miles
We highly recommend Matt and Lifestyle Lawns for a lifelike product and great customer service. We have a large property, and two distinct areas totaling about 50 sqm near the entrance where real grass struggled to grow due to a large macrocarpa hedge, clay soil underneath, sun angle, lack of water, and foot/dog traffic. We decided to install artificial grass after seeing how good it looked on a neighbor’s property. We looked at every product offered in Christchurch and decided that Lifestyle Lawns’ grass looked the most lifelike. We could not be happier with our choice. Matt provides the best customer service and was always there to answer questions and give advice as we built the base ourselves. Matt and his team came to install on the Friday before Christmas and the work was quick and flawless. The lawn is soft underfoot, looks quite real (has fooled a few visitors so far) and requires no maintenance. Our dogs love it, and I no longer have to worry about clothes getting dirty when something falls off the washing line. And now that summer is here and everything is brown on the hills around us, we smile every time we walk out our door and see these patches of green. Highly recommended.
Victoria
Matt was amazing to deal with. His team turned up on time and delivered a perfect result. Have used them twice now and will be back if we need another area done.

We recently engaged Lifestyle Lawns to install their products at our clients property and were blown away with the result. A flawless install, great service, topped by one of the most realistic products on the market- if you’re in the market for artificial turf, Matt and his team should be your first and only stop!

After extensive research we decided to choose Matt at Lifestyle Lawns to lay our imitation grass.
Matt's knowledge and communication is second to none.
We couldn't be happier with the completed job and the skill and knowledge of Matt we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Sarah
Excellent service great products, was an excellent choice for our preschool. Now the children can go outside even after rain, and with its cooling technology the summer heat will not be a concern either. Super happy and looking forward to doing our nursery space too.
Andrew
I highly recommend Lifestyle Lawns. Friendly, prompt service, great comms - responds to emails/messages almost immediately. They're also very cost competitive. The guys prepping and laying our artificial turf did it on an absolutely filthy day, screaming, bone chilling southerlies and driving rain. They worked through these horrible conditions even when I said it was OK for them to quit for the day. They told me they just wanted the lawn done and a happy customer. I was stoked and super impressed. They also prepped an area by our driveway that we could drive cars onto, and even laid our driveway pavers when that wasn't in the brief. Definitely recommend these guys.
Ben L
Matt’s communication with our landscaper & us through the project from start to finish was great! He sacrificed his time with his family to install our lawn in order to allow us to spend quality time with ours! Kids love it! Product & Service was 5 Star.
Ash
Excellent crew to work with. They did a fantastic job and the results are simply stunning. Great communication from the start to the end. We changed a few things along the way, and some aspects through some challenges but nothing was a problem for the team. So much appreciated. Highly recommend Lifestyle Lawns to everyone!
Andrea
Matt and the team at Lifestyle Lawns have been nothing but professional and approachable, an amazing company to deal with. We love our new lawn, what once was an unusable space has now given us a fresh green piece of garden that we will always use.

Matt and the team at Lifestyle Lawns did a fantastic job of our lawn! It has completely transformed our garden and we could not be happier. We had great communication from Matt - he’s very knowledgeable in his product and gave us some great advice during the quoting process.

We would highly recommend Matt and his team!
Ffion
Matt and his team have been an absolute pleasure to deal with, professional, punctual and with great attention to detail. As for the lawn, we chose the Villa 35mm + underlay over lots of ugly exposed ag concrete and we are really happy with it, the kids love it and the dog does too! - what more could you ask for?
Nick Jones
Amazing service and an amazing product! We couldn’t be happier with our new lawn and the overall experience we had with Lifestyle Lawns. Matt was super easy to deal with and helped us decide which product was best for us and our little pup. Misha, who installed the lawn was great as well. I would highly recommend Lifestyle Lawns to anyone and will certainly be using them again in the future. Thanks team!!
Joe
WOW we had no idea how much a big beautiful grassed area would change our life! The three kids, golden retriever and cat couldn't be happier! It looks and feels amazing. We will never go back to regular grass and we cannot recommend Lifestyle Lawns enough! Matt and his team were outstanding and Matt did everything he could to make this happen for us! Thank you!!!
Emily
Lifestyle Lawns installed our lawn two weeks ago and we have had so much use already. It is so inviting to go outside and enjoy it with our toddler and dog. Not only does it look amazing - luscious and green, is soft underfoot but is also practical, think no mud after rainy days, no weekends mowing! Would 100% recommend getting Matt and his team in to install your new artificial lawn!
Olivia
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lifestyle Lawns, and I must say that my experience was exceptional from start to finish. The team was incredibly friendly and hard-working, and the quality of their product was top-notch. What impressed me the most about Lifestyle Lawns was that their product was of the highest quality, but they did not charge an arm and a leg for it. The team was committed to ensuring that I got the best value for my money, and they worked tirelessly to deliver a final product that exceeded my expectations. The installation team was punctual, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. They took great care in ensuring that my lawn was properly installed, and they made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job was done. Overall, I would highly recommend Lifestyle Lawns to anyone looking for a quality lawn installation. They have an awesome team that is dedicated to delivering a great product at an affordable price. If you're looking for a friendly and hard-working team that will get the job done right, look no further than Lifestyle Lawns!
